Simple Spanish Wikipedia[edit]

submitted	verification	final decision

	This proposal has been rejected. This decision was taken by the language committee in accordance with the Language proposal policy based on the discussion on this page. The closing committee member provided the following comment: Simple Spanish fails the uniqueness criterion for eligibility, namely that it be sufficiently unique that it could not coexist on a more general wiki. Simple Spanish also does not have the required ISO 639-3 code except as a subset of Spanish, which is covered by the current Spanish Wikipedia. —Pathoschild 21:41:08, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
